Rice defends U.S. tactics against terrorism

BERLIN (AP) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice aggressively defended U.S. tactics against terrorism Monday as tough but legal, and countered European complaints over reports of secret CIA-run prisons there by saying America's efforts with its allies have been "a two-way street" that have saved European and American lives.
"Our people, wherever they are, are operating under U.S. law and U.S. international obligations," said Rice, whose visit to a Europe has seethed with resentment over reports of U.S. prisons and detainee abuse.
